About Howard "Dobbo" Dobson – Respected Name – Proven Results – Genuine Service With over $100 million dollars in Residential Zone, Knowledge Zone and Lifestyle sales, Howard Dobson joins Arizto after a decade's proven success in the Hamilton & Waikato market. When results, communication, service and empathy are paramount, Dobbo knows how to bring people and property together. Proven Track Record Since 2015 Dobson brings bold negotiating power, media-savvy marketing and a people-first approach, having achieved some stunning results for his vendors across all price points. His career highlight so far is the $6.8 million sale of the Hamilton Holiday Park in 2020. The 16,800 m² Ruakura Road transaction remains one of the highest (residential zone – individual title) sales in Hamilton history. Dobbo is also one of the very few agents to have sold in the "Knowledge Zone" (within the Waikato University boundary), with a 1,010 m² Hillcrest Road property changing hands for a staggering $1.76 million. Media Background Before real estate, Dobbo lit up screens on TV3 with his signature Top 10 “Plays of the Week,” while covering major sporting events around the globe for 3 News, Nightline, 3 Sport and his own Sports Tonight show (TV3, 1994–2012). Now it's about the "houses of the week," and he brings the same charisma, clarity and passion to marketing and negotiating for his vendors. His clients describe Dobbo as “straight-up, strategic and surprisingly fun to work with.” He’s got your back at every stage, from market prep to buyer negotiations to crossing the finish line with the result you deserve. Why Dobbo Chose Arizto With Arizto only charging a 2% commission fee, Dobson says "Arizto is leading the way of the future. With the traditional model of 3 to 4%, plus it's expensive over-heads and excessive bonus payouts, the traditional way is becoming too cost prohibitive for home-owners." Dobson says "under Arizto, vendors also have the choice of FREE marketing, while keeping more money in their pocket, in a lot of cases $10,000 or more. With Arizto positioning itself as New Zealand's real estate DISRUPTOR, I want to be a part of that because the vendor wins"
